However, the proposal becomes a firm commitment at the COST Action E52 WMCM in Florence (April, 2008), when the Czech Republic representatives undertook to coordinate the work and so ensured this common publication. Financial assistance from the COST Action E52 resources was approved during COST Action E52 WMCM in Rzesow, Poland (October, 2008). During the COST Action E52 WMCM in Sopron, Hungary (October, 2009) the details on the publication were further developed. The editors convey a special thanks to the initiative of Prof. Ladislav Paule (Slovakia), who suggested that contact should also be made with other countries situated in the original natural distribution area of European beech, including some countries with natural occurrence of oriental beech, and to ask them for their collaboration in the project. At the end of this four years process, we would like to express our thanks

  • Report on Beetles (Coleoptera) Collected from the Dartington Hall Estate, 2013 by Dr Martin Luff
    Report on beetles (Coleoptera) collected from the Dartington Hall Estate, 2013 by Dr Martin Luff. 1. Introduction This year has been a particularly busy one for my work on the beetles of the Estate. I recorded numbers of species on 11 separate dates from April (at the end of the cold spring) through to mid- November. The generally warm and dry summer enabled me to record much more by sweeping herbaceous vegetation around field margins, especially in Hill Park. At the end of May I was assisted by an old friend of mine, and former fellow student, Dr Colin Welch (RCW), who is an authority on the Staphylinidae (rove beetles). I was also provided with the contents of the nest boxes from Dartington Hills in February and September, thanks to Will Wallis and Mike Newby. Finally Mary Bartlett again encouraged me to examine the fauna of her compost heap in November. 2. Results A total of 201 beetle species from 35 families were recorded. This is considerably more than in any previous year that I have collected at Dartington. Of these, 85 species were not recorded in my earlier lists (Luff, 2010-12). The overall number of species that I have recorded from the Estate is now 369, which is almost 10% of the entire British beetle fauna. The bird nest boxes yielded 13 species, with over half being new to the Estate, despite having examined the boxes in previous years; the contents of the boxes were also rather different between spring and autumn, with only four species common to both.

THE DANGER WITHIN: IMPLICATIONS OF FIREWOOD TRASNPORT IN INVASIVE FOREST INSECT AND DISEASE SPREAD A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Wildlife and Fisheries Biology by Angelica Solano May 2021 Accepted by Dr. Shari Rodriguez, Committee Chair Dr. David R. Coyle Dr. Patrick J. Rosopa ABSTRACT Invasive forest insects and diseases are a problem affecting North American forests, and their intracontinental spread can be aggravated through the movement of contaminated firewood. We conducted a scoping review to assess trends and gaps in the existing literature, as well as patterns in behavior related to forest pest dispersal through firewood movement in North America. Of the 76 documents identified through our search, 24 met the inclusion criteria and were categorized based on five identified themes: 1) insect incidence in firewood, 2) insect dispersal via firewood, 3) recreational firewood movement, 4) firewood treatments, and 5) behavior and rule compliance.

  • Fungi and Their Potential As Biological Control Agents of Beech Bark Disease
    Fungi and their potential as biological control agents of Beech Bark Disease By Sarah Elizabeth Thomas A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences Royal Holloway, University of London 2014 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Sarah Elizabeth Thomas, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: _____________ Date: 4th May 2014 2 ABSTRACT Beech bark disease (BBD) is an invasive insect and pathogen disease complex that is currently devastating American beech (Fagus grandifolia) in North America. The disease complex consists of the sap-sucking scale insect, Cryptococcus fagisuga and sequential attack by Neonectria fungi (principally Neonectria faginata). The scale insect is not native to North America and is thought to have been introduced there on seedlings of F. sylvatica from Europe. Conventional control strategies are of limited efficacy in forestry systems and removal of heavily infested trees is the only successful method to reduce the spread of the disease. However, an alternative strategy could be the use of biological control, using fungi. Fungal endophytes and/or entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) could have potential for both the insect and fungal components of this highly invasive disease. Over 600 endophytes were isolated from healthy stems of F. sylvatica and 13 EPF were isolated from C. fagisuga cadavers in its centre of origin. A selection of these isolates was screened in vitro for their suitability as biological control agents. Two Beauveria and two Lecanicillium isolates were assessed for their suitability as biological control agents for C.

    UDC: 502.1(479.25) CURRENT PROTECTION STATUS AND THE MAIN PROBLEMS OF “DILIJAN” NATIONAL PARK H. Sayadyan, Gh. Barakat State Agrarian University of Armenia Keywords: “Dilijan” National Park, protection status, logging damage, cattle damage, local communities ong ago when humans came to the light, earth and its obtainable natural resources were more Lthan his needs. But with the huge increase of population and the extreme and unsustainable exploitation of the natural resources earth cannot be more our unlimited granter. The over-use has resulted in degradation of natural systems and loss of components of biodiversity. Whereas yearly 16 million hectares of natural forests are destroyed leading to the loss of more than 10% of the species around the world in 2020 (The national study of biodiversity in Syria, 1998). Thus issues relating to deterioration of natural resources, and necessity of protection of biological ecosystems and the ways of its efficiency increasing with the aim of ensuring sustainable use of frontline forestry ecosystem are recognized as being of crucial importance as we enter the new century. The overuse has resulted “Dilijan” National Park (NP) is situated in the Small Caucasus, in the northeast of mountainous in degradation of natural Armenia. It extends across the slopes of Pambak, Areguni, Miapor, Ijevan and Halab mountains, at systems and loss altitudes ranging from 1070m to 2900m. It is well known for its forest landscapes, medicinal mineral of components water springs, natural and historical-architectural monuments (Reserves of the USSR Caucasus of biodiversity Reserves, 1990).

  • Insect Herbivory Facilitates the Establishment of an Invasive Plant Pathogen ✉ ✉ Martin M
    www.nature.com/ismecomms ARTICLE OPEN Insect herbivory facilitates the establishment of an invasive plant pathogen ✉ ✉ Martin M. Gossner 1,2,3 , Ludwig Beenken4, Kirstin Arend 5, Dominik Begerow 5 and Derek Peršoh 5 © The Author(s) 2021 Plants can be severely affected by insect herbivores and phytopathogenic fungi, but interactions between these plant antagonists are poorly understood. We analysed the impact of feeding damage by the abundant herbivore Orchestes fagi on infection rates of beech (Fagus sylvatica) leaves with Petrakia liobae, an invasive plant pathogenic fungus. The fungus was not detected in hibernating beetles, indicating that O. fagi does not serve as vector for P. liobae, at least not between growing seasons. Abundance of the fungus in beech leaves increased with feeding damage of the beetle and this relationship was stronger for sun-exposed than for shaded leaves. A laboratory experiment revealed sun-exposed leaves to have thicker cell walls and to be more resistant to pathogen infection than shaded leaves. Mechanical damage significantly increased frequency and size of necroses in the sun, but not in shade leaves. Our findings indicate that feeding damage of adult beetles provides entry ports for fungal colonization by removal of physical barriers and thus promotes infection success by pathogenic fungi. Feeding activity by larvae probably provides additional nutrient sources or eases access to substrates for the necrotrophic fungus. Our study exemplifies that invasive pathogens may benefit from herbivore activity, which
